BTF Student wins Young Sports Personality of the Year

Huge Congratulations to the BTF's own Ben Meyrick who has been named Young Sports Personality of the Year at the South Wales Argus Sports Awards last night at the Celtic Manor. Ben came out on top ahead of fellow finalists Morgan Lucas and Amy Oliver, both from Valleys Gymnastics Academy, in a hotly-contested category. Ben modestly stated that was in total shock and honoured to have the award presented to him by Linford Christie OBE. Ben is a student of Valley Taekwon-Do Academy (a member of the Britsh Taekwon-Do Federation) and trains under his instructor and father Mr. Lee Meyrick, a 3rd Degree Black belt. Ben will be representing Wales at the forthcoming EITF European Championships to be held in Tallinn, Estonia at the end of April. Naturally, we wish him a great success in this challenging endeavour! Well done Ben!
